Cheesy Crab Appetizers
"Cheese, crab, herbs and lemon, plus a pizza crust shaped into muffin cups, these cheesy crab appetizers are super fun and quick to make. It’s so good!! I cut a pizza crust into 12 squares and lined 12 muffin cups with them. You can use mini muffin cups to make the crab appetizers even cuter. Add your cheesy crab filling into the crust nest, top with more cheese, then let your oven do the rest."
NotesThis recipe can also be made in 24 mini muffin cups.
